Talk about a quick pile on. For those who are on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/The-Joy-of-Knitting-126383230715722/

The owner's post about not selling yarn for the "vile" etc women's march was made on Jan 24, and isn't hard to find. Store now has an average rating of 1.4 out of 5 stars, with 8.4K 1 star reviews and growing rapidly. There are many, many lessons being posted.

1. And the raging bullheadedness over 'I said my peace.' Idiot.

She is saying that is correct. No, it's "I said my piece." A similar phrase is "I made my peace."

2. it would be entertaining if it wasn't so pathetic

3. I'm starting to wonder about this. How come she only got indignant and publicly hateful

about this days after the march? Franklin is just outside Nashville (where I live), and 15,000 marchers took part, so I would bet she sold a lot of pink yarn, knitting needles, and patterns leading up to the event. Now that her pink yarn bonanza has come and gone, she gets on Facebook to denounce her customers and claim she told off some after-the-march straggler? She probably made it up. I deeply resented this woman using her professed Christianity as an excuse for her bigotry and hypocrisy. Dozens of people from my church participated in the march, and we are a fairly small congregation. Now she is claiming that her post, which denounced the people marching for social justic as vulgar, vile, and evil, was "misconstrued".

4. yes, pretty vile stuff. but atypical for hypocrites (my brother is one -

the label and sitting church is easy...but actually living what is believed...hard work - too hard, it seems!)

5. Maybe she got an email

asking if she catered to pussy-hat knitters.
